About

I've loved horror my whole life - the creepy stuff, the folklore, a story told well in the dark. Somewhere along the way I got tired of just watching it. I wanted to wear it. Not a skull screaming on a shirt - a story. Something with a tale behind it worth telling.

So that's what Half-Dead Co. is. Wearable things pulled from a world we're building called The Wake - the running record of everything that crossed over and won't stay down. Skinwalkers and the returned so far, with a long list still coming: vampires, ghosts, cryptids, hauntings. Every drop is a piece of it, and every piece has its story.

The Ethos

Mortuary-punk isn't a genre. It's a posture. It's knowing things end, that most things are already ending, and deciding that's not sad so much as clarifying. You figure out what matters when you know what doesn't last.

The clothes live at the seam between the living and the not-quite - quiet enough for a Tuesday, heavy enough to mean it.

Built to Outlast You

Real ink on heavy cotton, reinforced where it counts. Designs that don't date because they were never chasing the season. You shouldn't have to replace a shirt every few months - that's marketing pretending to be fashion.

Print-on-Demand, On Purpose

Nothing sits in a warehouse. Every piece is printed when you order it, so waste stays near zero and I can build out the whole world without betting on what sells. The tradeoff is time - orders take longer than two-day shipping. That's fine. The best things usually do.

Who's Here

A small operation - I answer my own emails. If you have a question, a complaint, or you just want to tell me the design on your shirt is the best thing you own, the contact form actually reaches me.

Half-Dead Co. - built to outlast you.
